Overview
The Ubiquiti UF-SPLITTER-8 is a UFiber 1:8 PLC fiber optic splitter designed to distribute an optical signal from a Fiber OLT to multiple Fiber ONUs. It provides one SC/APC input and eight SC/APC outputs for compatible fiber access deployments.
Optical Performance
The UF-SPLITTER-8 has a specified insertion loss of 10.5 dB with connectors and a uniformity loss of 0.8 dB. Polarization dependent loss is 0.3 dB, with 50 dB return loss across all ports and 55 dB directivity.
Fiber and Connectivity
The splitter uses SC/APC connectors and G657A1 fiber. Its specified wavelength bandwidth is 1260–1650 nm, supporting compatible optical fiber access systems.
Key Features
- 1:8 optical splitting configuration
- 1 SC/APC input and 8 SC/APC outputs
- 10.5 dB insertion loss with connectors
- G657A1 fiber construction
- 1260–1650 nm wavelength bandwidth
Applications
- UFiber GPON fiber access deployments
- Optical distribution from compatible Fiber OLT equipment
- Fiber networks requiring up to 8 optical output connections
- Telecommunications and structured fiber distribution systems
DC Supplies Product Note
The 1:8 split ratio provides eight optical output paths from a single input. The specified 10.5 dB insertion loss should be included when calculating the optical budget of the deployed fiber link.
